1. I remember he was on Channel 3, WBTV in Charlotte when I was a kid.

3. I remember him from WLOS in Asheville when I was growing up.

Back when there were 3 channels, plus PBS.

WLOS came in only when the weather was optimal.

4. We used to be able to get Asheville, Spartanburg and Winston-Salem channels

over the air and we thought it was sooooooooooooo cool! LOL!

5. In addition to WLOS from Asheville, we got channels from

Greenville and Spartanburg. And we were in NE GA!!

Had to rely on the Athens and Atlanta papers and the hometown weekly rag for any Georgia news or politics.

2. Every time I watch a movie, someone dies

I watched the BluRay of Deliverance just last weekend.

I watched Boogie Nights and a week later Philip Seymour Hoffman was dead.

Recently I watched It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and Sid Caesar and Mickey Rooney died.

I am think about seeing that new Rumsfeld documentary. Anyone know a good film about the Koch brothers?
